This was during my time. I was skin boy, I was driving, M was shotgun. I can't imagine Charlie being one of the people in the back seat. Did Charlie say it was in Germany? Then maybe he was. He did come spend a little time with M a few times during my 5 years there, but I don't remember him being on that trip to Germany. I don't remember who came, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Charlie. Gee, maybe, for this group, I should stop reminiscing. Maybe I told the story to Charlie. He did tell me once that I should be out chasing women.
